When combined with the economic slowdown during 2001, the impact was a significant drop in passenger traffic at all Canadian airports and in particular at airports with significant transborder traffic.

The downward trend in total aircraft movements is expected to continue into 2002, being exacerbated by the September terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001 and as a direct consequence of the poor performance of the economy that started in late 2000.

As an indicator of aviation activity, the term "Licensed Pilots" refers to the number of pilot licences in force at the end of a given calendar year.

NTSB - Press Release(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

Because the crashes of September 11, 2001 were the results of criminal activity, those crashes are included in the totals for scheduled U.S. airline accidents and fatalities, but are not used for the purpose of accident rate computation.

General aviation was the only category of air transportation to report an increase in its accident rate, which is attributable to the fact that fewer hours were flown by general aviation aircraft in 2001 than in 2000.

As with 2001 statistics, accidents caused by illegal acts in previous years were not used when calculating the accident rate for that year.

Aviation Delay Prevention Hearing Time Change for March 29, March 27, 2001.

Washington, D.C. The U.S. Congress and various branches of the federal government continue to be busy with aviation matters, with more than a little controversy attached to their actions.

The Under Secretary will be appointed for a five-year term, like the FAA Administrator, and will have virtually unlimited powers to establish security procedures not only for aviation but also for other types of transportation.

The Under Secretary will have responsibility for day-to-day screening activities of U.S. air passengers, must develop hiring and training standards for aviation security screeners, and is tasked with hiring and training all required airport security screeners.

To help achieve this goal, and in response to the evaluations and comments of previous seminar participants, CASS 2001, which was opened by the Minister, offered two full days of operationally-oriented workshops preceded by a one-day plenary session of high-profile international guest speakers and panels.

The Canadian Aviation Safety Seminar provides a unique opportunity to bring the whole Civil Aviation team together with participation from each of the regions.

While primarily educational, this seminar also provided an opportunity for members of the aviation community to interact with other aviation professionals and to share safety concerns with members of Transport Canada Civil Aviation.

General Aviation 2001(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

It is expected the year 2001 will exceed all prior records in general aviation.

As you can see, our biggest problem in general aviation in the future is not the sale of aircraft but finding someone to keep them flying.

Of course working for the airlines is the dream of most new AandPs with general aviation being the bottom of the food chain.

This brought such a cry of protest from all sides of the aviation industry that OMB wisely decided to look elsewhere for potential savingsfor the moment.

OMBs proposal was a clarion call for aviation support groups and members of Congress who had worked hard to make aviation infrastructure improvements a high priority during the last congressional session.

The measure Congress approved to fund the improvements, AIR 21, also established the principle that revenues collected from aviation users and placed into the Airport and Airways Trust Fund should be fully spent for aviation purposes and not diverted to other usesa position ALPA has espoused for many years.

Over the next year, we are committed to working with you, and the rest of the aviation community, as well as with the Congress, to develop a plan of action.

Government, industry, and key components of the aviation community, are all working together in new collaborative and constructive ways to advance aviation safety.

By building on the 1997 recommendations of the National Civil Aviation Review Commission, which I had the privilege to chair, and the White House Commission on Aviation Safety, we have embraced the goal of reducing the fatal accident rate through a performance-based, data-driven approach.

This prediction came at the 25th annual Aviation Insurance Association conference held in Phoenix in May. In attendance were more than 440 aviation insurance professionals, including agents, brokers, claims personnel and underwriters, from seven countries on three continents.

The four-person panel discussed the Bush Cabinet in terms of aviation disposition, especially focusing on Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, whom the Cabinet concluded would be inclined to support the continuation of all airports, and Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, who may become a key player in resolving strikes in the aviation industry.

The court found that a flight manual is an integral part of the general aviation aircraft product, but the plaintiffs could state a claim only if they could show that the specific information leading to the crash had been revised or deleted.

In the year 2001 a total of 34 fatal multi-engined airliner accidents caused fatal injuries to 1118

The 2001 fatality rate (percentage of occupants killed in fatal airliner accidents) of 90% was higher

will no doubt be the number one priority for aviation regulators and the aviation industry in 2002.

On the evening of Sept. 10, 2001, I passed through Boston's Logan Airport en route to Seattle, where I was to give a talk the next day titled "Air Safety: End of the Golden Age?" In my carry-on bag were my laptop, various wires and batteries for my CD players.

After the disaster, it was widely (and truthfully) reported from the aviation community that no one there imagined an event like the one that happened.

(See Barnett, Shumsky, Hansen, Odoni and Gosling, 2001; the test did not include some extreme conditions in which bag-match would be modified.) Five months of data from U.S. airlines about their over-water flights to Honolulu and San Juan (which were PPBM routes) revealed mean bag-match departure delays of less than one minute.
